Usage

• Pre-washed: Ready to use, though additional rinsing can be done to ensure cleanliness.
• Riverbed Placement: Spread the substrate evenly along the bottom of your empty tank or terrarium. Pour gently from a low height to avoid scratching the glass.
• Standalone or Mixed: Use on its own for a natural base, or combine with other WIO sands and gravels for a custom substrate look.
• Decorate & Plant: Arrange rocks, driftwood, and plants to achieve your desired scape.
• Filling the Tank: Pour water carefully, avoiding direct flow onto the substrate.
• Pro Tip: Pour water over a plate or decor to minimize disturbance.
• Final Touch: Skim any floating particles with a net, then run the filter - cloudiness clears within a few hours.
• Easy maintenance: Gently vacuum the substrate with every water change to remove debris or algae.
